Change wordpress defalt welcome mail template to new users

The default welcome email template in WordPress is controlled by the wp_new_user_notification filter. To change the default welcome email template, you can use a plugin or modify the code in your theme's functions.php file.

Method 1: Using a Plugin

You can use a plugin like "Welcome Email" or "WP Welcome Email" to customize the welcome email template. These plugins provide a user-friendly interface to modify the email template.

Method 2: Modifying the Code

To modify the code, you'll need to add a function to your theme's functions.php file that filters the wp_new_user_notification action. Here's an example code snippet:

function custom_welcome_email($user_id, $plaintext_pass) {
    // Define the new email template
    $subject = 'Welcome to our website!';
    $message = 'Hello '. $user_id->display_name. ',';
    $message.= 'Thank you for joining our community!';
    $message.= 'Please click the link below to activate your account:';
    $message.= '<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="'. wp_login_url(). '">Activate your account</a>';
    $message.= 'If you have any issues, please contact us at '. get_option('admin_email');

    // Send the email
    wp_mail($user_id->user_email, $subject, $message);
}
add_action('wp_new_user_notification', 'custom_welcome_email', 10, 2);

In this example, we're defining a new email template with a custom subject, message, and link to activate the account. You can modify this code to fit your needs.

Method 3: Using a Theme Function

If you're using a theme that provides a functions.php file, you can add the code to that file instead of modifying the core WordPress code.

Tips and Variations

• You can use the wp_new_user_notification_email filter to modify the email template for specific user roles or conditions.
• You can use the wp_new_user_notification_email_headers filter to modify the email headers.
• You can use the wp_new_user_notification_email_attachments filter to add attachments to the email.
• You can use the wp_new_user_notification_email_content_type filter to change the email content type (e.g., from text/plain to text/html).

Remember to test your custom welcome email template thoroughly to ensure it works as expected.
